In a shadowed corner of MossClan's newly repopulated camp, or perhaps the shadow of a tree along the border, you can see the shadow of a figure. They turn to you, a grin on their face visible in the dim lighting. "Come on it," they say, "I have an offer for you." Do you accept? [What Is It?] The Burrowing Shadows is a group of cats determined to know the secrets of the clans, whether it's to just be "in the know" about what is going on, or potentially more sinister happenings.... The leader, Morphopaw, is a MossClan cat, however outsiders will be allowed to join at a price. The group will have meetings every 2 weeks discussing what they have found out over the past moons, though of course, they can discuss at any time outside of meetings as well. OORP, I created it because I don't see many stealth based groups, and specifically I don't see many stealth based groups that aren't heavily murder based. So here we are! The Burrowing Shadows will have opportunities to allow for murder, which I shall discuss later The Burrowing Shadows is a group for the roleplay Generations (@Generations ). You must have a character in the roleplay to join or be placed on the list of future members. [How Do I Join?] Form: username w/ @ || cat name || clan || ally or full member or pinglist + role/future role (ant or fire ant) if MC || why does this group interest them? || codeword || Any suggestions/concerns for the group? You can roleplay with any member of the group for your cat to gain inrp knowledge of the group, but please please PLEASE alert me with the form above to the fact that they are joining, ok? ok. CW is what your cat wishes to gain from the group, as well as your cats age if they are being put on the pinglist of future members If you join this group, you are expected to at least take part in some of the meetings/report cats, even if you don't partake in all of them. Cats outside of MossClan that wish to join are expected to either find a secret from a group outside MossClan to tell Morphopaw (preferred) or bring another cat with them into the group, though other methods may be discussed (if you are outside MossClan, you have the additional cw of which method your cat will use to join) [Rankings] - The Shadow: the leader of the group. The other members report secrets they find out to them and the shadow decides what to do with “problem” cats - Umbras: The ones the Shadow holds the closest, expected (but not required) to help find new members, as well as make important decisions. For Morpho, it will likely be those who she considers he closest friends within the group and those with higher stealth - Ants: The MossClan members of the group that the Shadow doesn't declare to be Umbras. - Ticks: Kits of the group, once the group has out of MossClan members, they cannot attend meetings, but are still expected to keep their ears pricked for gossip. Are generally taught stealth tips by the older members of the group. - Fire Ants: Similar to Ants, however Fire Ants have high strength in addition to high stealth, and will often be tasked with "taking care" of any problem cats. - Termites: The non-MossClan members of the group. May end up being on the watchlist if Morpho suspects them of being a traitor to the group. - Allies: These cats aren't considered to be full members, and do not sit in on meetings, however they pass along info to full members. Allies must pass a piece of information to a full member (which must then be reported to me) once every four weeks to retain their position in the group You can rise ranks through gaining trust with Morphopaw & the Umbras, just as you can drop ranks by losing that trust. It is difficult for a termite to become an Umbra, but not impossible. [Current Members] PLEASE tell me if your cat leaves the group/dies!! That is very important! If you are anything but an ally and do not partake in a majority of meetings (no current hard amount, but if I notice a lack of participation, I’ll message you), you will be demoted to an ally. Additionally, if members do not report information for several meetings, they will be made to be an ally until they report information (true or false… take that as you will) If you are an ally and do not report information once in a four-week period (unless on a hiatus), you will be given a warning and two weeks to do so before being taken off the group list until you do report a piece of information. These rules exist to prevent people from joining solely to gain a sheep. PLEASE let me know if there is anything that will prevent you from completing your requirements and we can work it out, ok? I’m not a huge stickler about these rules but I do expect you to participate.
[The Watchlist] Of course, any group based around spying HAS to have cats they deem... troubling. How these cats are dealt with is based on the individual members, but Morpho really has no care as to how her group deals with them. Anyone within the group (or allied with the group) can report cats to be watched, please fill out this form to report a cat: Your cat's name | cat name (user of cat) | reason why they should be watched Your reasoning does not necessarily need to be true irp, nor does it need to be anything large. The Watched: Cat Name - Reason (Please note that if you are uncomfortable being on this list, you are free to request to be taken off! Additionally, you are free to ask to be added to the watchlist if you want a bit of drama in your life) Thumbnail by @Warriorcats_for_life Meetings: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1348817528/
